(its a short story i made for a school assignment! its 6 pages long (on microsoftword) w/ 12 font and is double space o.o its 1888 words!)
“Dawn, get back here you monster!” the humans yelled, commanding her to come back to them immediately. The sound of her being called ‘a monster’ made her run faster. The snow as hard as ice, she had never experienced the cold snow under her delicate, light, and swift white paws, crunching softly. Her necklace, representing the element of wind, glittering like dew on the morning leaves, against the reflection of the sun against the harden ice covered snow. Feeling her heart beat against her sky blue colored chest, she ran faster leaving the humans out of her site. She halted to stop as realized she was about 20 feet out into a frozen lake. She looked around, seeing the trees covered with newly fallen snow, it was peaceful, put she didn’t have time to rest at the moment she had to get these humans off her back. She unfolded her wings that were tightly folded next to her frozen body, she looked at them hmm…they look strong enough to carry me across this frozen lake she thought to her self as she looked at the lake. She raised her wings the blue as light as the sky. She ran a little bit to catch up wind and speed then finally, she pushed off the ice as hard as she could. She heard a crackle sound under her she looked down the ice had disappeared where she pushed off the ice. She looked back as she saw the humans standing in the snow; their jaws were dropped in astonishment. “Dawn!” one screamed, the anger and hatred was heard in its voice. She thought I’m going to forget my past. I’m a new wolf now… I can live the life I have always wanted. She smiled as she landed softly on the snow.
Then she darted off into the woods. She looked behind her to see if the humans were following her as she slammed into something hard. The impact knocked her on her back, her paws relaxing. She looked up as she saw another wolf by the way she was holding her head; she was probably an alpha female. She held her head with pride the looked down at Dawn. “What are you doing on Ruin Pack’s territory?” the female snapped, apparently she wasn’t too happy that Dawn was on her home territory. Dawn got up, shook the snow off her body and answered “I’m sorry, I was running from humans who wanted to get me and I got across a frozen lake and I ran into you…” she paused then continued “I will leave if you may let me pass through”. She saw the anger in the female wolf’s eyes change to pity and sorrow. “Let me guess you’re looking for a pack, aren’t you?” she asked. Dawn looked at the brown and black female, and then answered “I’ve never been outside the safety of my cage, and I don’t know how to catch food or anything, so I guess I am”. She giggled as she looked up at the sky. “You can join my pack if you want.” She said then followed with the question “but first I have to know your name, what is your name young one?” she asked with a friendly smile. Dawn felt the fear disappear from her eyes as she noticed that this female was older than her by maybe a year or two. “My name is Dawn.” Dawn answered as she sat down. “Well dawn, follow me to the dens and I will introduce you to the pack.” The older wolf said. “May I ask your name?” Dawn asked politely. The older wolf giggled then said “My name is Lilly and I’m the Alpha female of Ruin Pack”.
“I’m sure the pack will accept you Dawn” Lilly said as the entered the den clearing. Lilly jumped up onto a rock landing softly on a rock as she howled “Will all Ruin Pack wolves please come out for an announcement”. Lilly signaled Dawn to come up on the rock along side her. “Ruin Pack, I want you to meet a new wolf we will be accepting into the pack. Her name is Dawn” Lilly said as she hopped down off the rock and said “Make her feel like belongs.” She made one final statement as she trotted into her den. Dawn was talking to other wolves as three unfamiliar scents caught her nose. They don’t smell like the wolves of Ruin Pack Dawn thought to herself as she saw three male wolves come trotting in one who was all black with a white underbelly, one white paw, a white face, and gorgeous bright blue eyes . The other two were all brown with black eyes. Dawn was currently talking to a wolf named Moonlight. “Moonlight…” Dawn paused as she continued “who is the black wolf with the bright blue eyes?” she took her eyes off of the beautiful male wolf and put her eyes on Moonlight, she looked amazed. “The gorgeous black male is Shadow; he is the alpha male of the Night pack.” Moonlight said. Moonlight got up and Dawn followed. Moonlight and Dawn walked up to Shadow and Moonlight snapped “What are you doing here, Shadow?” Shadow looked at Dawn and knew at that instant that Dawn was his soul mate. Dawn saw it to they were meant to be. “Shadow? Shadow what are you doing here?” Moonlight snapped at him. Shadow shook his head as Dawn saw the love in his eyes gone in an instant. The love had turned to seriousness. “I’m here to see Lilly” Shadow said still looking at Dawn. Lilly walked out of her den and asked “Dawn can I see…” she was cut off by the sight of Shadow “oh…Shadow what are you doing here?” Lilly asked as she walked over and sat down beside Moonlight. “I’m here to bring you a message from the medicine wolf of Night Pack; he has a feeling we will soon have several humans coming to our pack’s territories, and that we may have to unite packs to protect ourselves from them” he said as he moved is eyes from Dawn to Lilly. “I will think about your proposal Shadow. Thank you.” Lilly said as the three wolves got up and turned around and walked out the entrance to the clearing. Shadow stopped and looked at Dawn one more time then turned around and darted through the woods heading back to his own territory.
6 months later
(Dawn had achieved the trust and the acceptance of the pack but she has secretly been seeing Shadow during the night. No one knew her secret except for Moonlight, her best friend. Wolves have been seeing footprints of humans around their territory borders)
“Dawn, Moonlight, Rose, and Raven; go on patrol on the borders and when you reach Night Pack’s territory go into their camp and ask to speak with Shadow , tell him I said that we accept his offering. He will know what I mean, come back when they do.” Lilly told them as the headed out of the clearing and patrolled the territory borders. Finally, the entered Night Pack’s territory and went through the dark woods; barely any light of the summer sun shined through the thick canopy of spruce and pine trees. They entered the clearing of Night Pack’s dens and it was a different world it was bright, sunny, and inviting. A wolf got up and asked “What are you doing here Moonlight?” “We are here to give Shadow a message from Lilly.” Moonlight said as Shadow came walking out of his den and said “What does Lilly have to say, Moonlight?” his eyes full of love and compassion apparently his pack did not know about the secret relationship between Shadow and Lilly. “Lilly sais Ruin Pack accepts your offering”. Dawn said quickly not even realizing what she said. A strange wolf came up to her and started smelling her and said “You don’t smell like a Ruin Pack.” The wolf was growling. “Don’t talk our visitors that way Midnight! It’s impolite.” Shadow snapped. Midnight stopped at the command of his Alpha. Shadow walked off and said “Night Pack, help the elderly, expecting, and the nursing we are moving to Ruin Pack dens due to the humans getting closer to our territories. We are banning together for safety!” she said as he turned around and looked at Dawn as wolves came out of dens caring pups and helping elders. “Follow us to our dens” Moonlight said as they exited the now abandoned den site.
As they entered the Ruin Pack den clearing other wolves were coming out to say ‘hi’ to the newcomers. Everyone looked right at home, pups play fighting, elders, and adults talking. Dawn smiled at the sight then she felt the hair on her back stand up and she heard the sound of human voices he wings spread out protectively as she said “humans….they’re coming towards here! They’re coming! She growled as she saw men in white suits coming towards the two packs that merged together as one for protection. “Ahhhh Dawn… you’ve grown” they both said as they stepped forward. Night Pack and Ruin Pack stared in amusement as Shadow asked “How do they know you Dawn?” he looked confused and scared; “Long story I’ll tell you later Shadow!” Dawn snapped. One of the men reached his hand out to pet her; his ice cold hand touched her head and she with out warning jumped up and bit his hand. “Dawn why did you bite my hand?” one of them said to the other that she has found a new home and that they should leave because she is happy here and wants to be here with her new family. Then the men turned to leave as they stared at he one last time and walked off into the woods. All the wolves started to howl as the humans left.
3 months later
(It was the start of fall and the packs were no longer rivals; they lived in one big territory, there was not enough room in the Ruin Pack dens and every wolf went back to their old life styles, except for that fact that some wolves went to live with different packs. Both packs soon decided to bond together and changed their pack to Silver River Pack they lived in a communal den clearing and lived on. Lilly be came older and moved in with the elders; Shadow and Dawn became the Alpha pair. Soon after becoming after the alpha pair Lilly and Shadow had 4 puppies 3 girls named Lilly, Daisy, and Ocean ; they also had 1 male pup who they named Dusk).
Shadow, Dawn, Moonlight, and Lilly watched the pups play fight with the other pups of the pack, as if they were family. Dawn laid down smiled and thought all is good and will remain the same. She curled up next to Shadow, closed her eyes, felt the cool fall breeze flowing through her light blue wings, closed her eyes and basked in the warm but cool sun.
“Dawn, get back here you monster!” the humans yelled, commanding her to come back to them immediately. The sound of her being called ‘a monster’ made her run faster. The snow as hard as ice, she had never experienced the cold snow under her delicate, light, and swift white paws, crunching softly.
